STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA TO HAVE MY FRAME REVIEWED FOR RUST DAMAGE. THIS OCCURRED IN 2012, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD AFTER INSPECTION THAT MY TRUCK SHOWED NO RUST. I RETAINED THE PAPERWORK INDICATING SUCH. ON 12/30/2014 I TOOK MY TRUCK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN THE TRUCK WENT UP ON THE LIFT IT ACTUALLY BROKE IN HALF. THE SHOP HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND WAS AMAZED AT THE VOLUME OF RUST INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. I CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALER BECAUSE I HEARD OF THESE TRUCKS BEING RECALLED FOR FRAME PROBLEMS. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME? PLEASE HELP ME. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK? *TR

STEERING
TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS AND DOESN'T CORRECT WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN. STEERING WANTS TO FREEZE UP WHEN MAKING A U TURN. I'VE HEARD THAT THE BALL JOINTS CAN SNAP AND SEND THE TRUCK CAREENING OUT OF CONTROL. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK SPECIFICALLY TO HAVE SOMETHING SAFE FOR TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES AND CANNOT HAVE A MALFUNCTION LIKE THIS HAPPEN. *TR

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA 9SM AND A0F AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO CONKLIN CARS SALINA, LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE INSPECTION. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA THESE RECALLS INVOLVE RUST AND CORROSION OF THE FRAME, CROSS MEMBERS, AND FUEL TANK STRAPS. CONKLIN CARS TECH STATED NO DAMAGE, CONKLIN INVOICE #008916 DATED APR 09 2012. JAN 2015 I NOTICED A HOLE IN THE LH FRAME RAIL AND THAT THE REAR FUEL TANK STRAP HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I CONTACTED CONKLIN CARS AND THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED AT IT AGAIN ON JAN 30TH 2015 AND SAID THAT HE HAD CONTACTED THEIR TOYOTA FACTORY REP. ABOUT THE ISSUES. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND TOLD ME THAT THE FACTORY REP. SAID THAT THE CASE WAS CLOSED AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS RECALL WAS ONLY FOR TRUCKS THAT RESIDED IN NORTHERN STATES AND THIS TRUCK WAS SOLD IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS. LOOKING AT THE FRAME IT IS EVIDENT TO ME THAT THE FRAME HAS HEAVY CORROSION, FLAKING RUST AND THINNING OF THE FRAME RAILS. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED BOTH FUEL TANK STRAPS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE "[XXX]" TOLD ME THAT THE CASE NUMBER WAS #1502062938 AND THAT THE REPAIR WAS TAKEN CARE OF ON APR 23RD 2012 AND WAS CLOSED. I HAD EXPLAINED THAT ALLEGEDLY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APR 2012 AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER THE STRAPS HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND THERE WERE HOLES IN THE FRAME. AT THIS RATE OF DECAY THE FRAME WILL RUST IN HALF IN LESS THAN 3 MORE YEARS. E. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND COMPLAINED ON FEB 20TH 2015 AND THEY OPENED A NEW CASE #[XXX] AND SHE SAID A CASE MANAGER WOULD CALL. [XXX] M., CASE MANAGER, TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CALLED FEB 26 AND TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THESE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE ONGOING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE RUSTING OF THE FRAME. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN MARCH OF 2013 AND WAS TOLD THE FRAME DIDN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT ONLY NEEDED TO BE "UNDER COATED" WHICH THEY DID. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THIS "UNDERCOATING" STARTED PEELING OFF IN LARGE SHEETS. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS PERFORATION OF THE FRAME. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE FRAME APPROX. 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. TOYOTA CALLED ME BACK AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAD DONE WHAT WAS REQUIRED FOR THE RECALL AND THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING ANYTHING ELSE. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A BIG ENOUGH CONCERN THAT A RECALL WAS DECLARED AND IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN THE POSITION THAT AS LONG AS THEY MAKE A TOKEN EFFORT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I PULL A BOAT WITH THIS TRUCK AND AM NOW CONCERNED THAT IF THE FRAME FAILS IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

STEERING
ON SATURDAY, 11/1, I STARTED MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY, DROVE FORWARD, AND TRIED TO TURN ONTO THE ROAD, BUT I COULDN'T TURN. I BACKED THE TRUCK INTO MY DRIVEWAY AGAIN. I LOOKED IN THE TRUCK'S MANUAL, BOUGHT THE DEXRON FLUID THAT IT RECOMMENDED, AND PUT IT IN THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR, BUT THE TRUCK GROANED WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT. THE NEXT DAY, I PUT MORE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR, BUT I COULD NOT TURN IT. WHEN I CALLED THE MECHANIC ON MONDAY, HE SAID TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. BEFORE IT WAS TOWED, I PUT MORE FLUID IN IT. IT LEAKED ALL OVER THE BED OF THE TRUCK THAT HAULED IT TO THE MECHANIC. AFTER IT WAS AT THE MECHANIC'S SHOP, HE SAID THAT BOTH POWER STEERING LINES WERE BROKEN. HE SAID IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TUNDRA. I WAS GRATEFUL THAT THEY DIDN'T BREAK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT KNOWN PROBLEMS OUGHT TO BE SUBJECT TO RECALL AND PAID FOR BY TOYOTA. THEY SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO THE OWNER TO FIND OUT BY ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 104,000 MILES. IT WAS PART OF A LIMITED CAMPAIGN RELATED TO FRAME/RELATED COMPONENT CORROSION. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP APPLIED CRC TO CERTAIN PARTS OF THE FRAME BUT DID AN INSUFFICIENT JOB AND THE MATERIAL IS FLAKING OFF IN LARGE PIECES. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT ONE OF MY FUEL TANK GAS STRAPS RUSTED OFF AND NOW THE TANK IS HOLDING ON BY ONLY 1 STRAP. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND RETURNED TO DEALER AND NO ONE WILL EVEN CONSIDER HELPING ME REMEDY THE GAS STRAP ISSUE BECAUSE THE RECALL PERIOD IS CLOSED. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF MY FRAME IS RUSTED AND SEVERAL COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME ARE COMPROMISED. NO, THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ACCIDENT BUT I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THIS IS MECHANICALLY SOUND BUT ISN'T SAFE ENOUGH TO FILL UP WITH GAS FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE USES VERY DECEPTIVE PRACTICES CONCERNING SAFETY. IT IS SAD THAT LARGE CORPORATIONS VALUE CONSUMER SAFETY SO LITTLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND MY 2000 TUNDRA HAS ALWAYS HAD EXTREME VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BRAKE ROTORS SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VIBRATION RETURNS AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE VIBRATION ALWAYS GETS WORSE IF YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY. THE FRONTEND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BEING TORN APART WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKING SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, THERE IS A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WITH WHEEL HOP WITH VIBRATION AT THE TIME. THIS ALSO HAPPENS UNDER WET CONDITIONS WHEN BRAKING.THE ROTORS ARE THEN DAMAGED AND YOU NOTICE A CONSTANT VIBRATION UNDER BREAKING AFTER THAT. THE VIBRATION IS MUCH MORE SEVERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PASSENGERS ALWAYS NOTICE THE VIBRATIONS WHEN BRAKING ANYTIME. THE VIBRATION IS ALSO FELT IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKE PEDAL. EVERY OWNER THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM. I AM SHOCKED THAT THE NHTSA HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. *TR
